| الوصف: | Edible films and coatings are increasingly being used as carriers of functional additives including antimicrobial agents. Consumer interest in naturally-derived antimicrobials has also increased. Plant extracts such as grape seed and green tea extracts are known to have antiviral as well as antibacterial activities. Even though there are several researches that have investigated the use of edible films and coatings as carriers of antimicrobial agents against foodborne bacterial pathogens, unfortunately data is lacking on the use of these same technologies on foodborne viruses. Therefore, this study seeks to develop edible films and coatings that can control foodborne viruses. The film’s antibacterial and mechanical properties were also tested. Chapters 1 and 2 introduce and review previous researches in edible films and coatings. Topics such as the types of biopolymer, film formation methods and mechanisms, foodborne viruses and bacteria, as well as edible film characterization and properties are discussed.Chapter 3 of this study investigated the virucidal activity of green tea extract (GTE) dissolved in deionized water and also incorporated into chitosan film forming solutions (FFS) and into chitosan films. For comparison, the antibacterial activity of the films was also investigated against Listeria innocua and Escherichia coli K12. The viral infectivity after treatments was measured by plaque assays. The 1, 1.5 and 2.5% aqueous GTE solutions significantly (p |
